Chapter 154

• EMBER'S POV
• "Good evening everyone. Thank you for gracing us today with your presence. There isn't anything I'll say, that Ms. Ember hasn't said. However, I must press on the fact that this reform project isn't one that will excuse bad behavior or conduct. Punishable acts will be punished. The only difference is the fact that, after leaving out your sentence there will be a chance for change. I am well aware of the stigma that follows doing wrong and being punished for it. I know that it is sometimes hard for people who have taken time to be integrated into society. This project is our way of saying that you can start all over again. That we believe in you." At that, everyone cheered, and Axel smiled, before handing me the microphone.
• "Alright everyone, please have a great evening," I said, and with that, he and I got off the stage.
